They are lying all over the place dead.

They are extremely loud. Windows rolled up and AC on while on the expressway, their noise cuts through all of that. With all of them barking the rhythm part of the noise goes away and it's like a cicada chain saw.
That's the worst part, when they die. It's like fall leaves in the streets.
